Wonderful day with Dave snorkeling at Honeymoon Beach.
It was windy and waters were a little choppy so Dave took us directly to Honeymoon Beach where it was much calmer and we were able to snorkel off the boat. We saw turtles (one actually swam right up past me and surfaced!) as well as fish.
While we didn't go onto the beach itself, it looked nice and there was a small restaurant/bar.
Dave was a great guide in that he was knowledgeable about St Thomas, had fun facts and trivia to share, and pivoted to make our afternoon of snorkeling as enjoyable as possible. We also felt like Dave connected to everyone on the trip; it felt like he enjoyed talking to people and liked what he was doing. I bring this up because we have been on tours where it felt like the folks with kids, or the best looking woman, or the person who looked like the biggest tipper got all the guides attention, or other times when it felt like they were just going through the motions.
We also enjoyed having a small group (8 adults) as opposed to some of the huge groups we saw going out. A HUGE plus and as noted above, made it easier for Dave to talk to each of us.
